I mostly use websites in order to use ad blockers and many apps use far more storage than necessary. I mostly use apps when they have functionality that I want that the website is missing or when the app just offers a significantly better experience than the website.
Ladybird is still very early in development and is not even targeting an alpha release until 2026. There are no binaries currently available, so the only way to even test what currently exists is to compile the source code. I am excited to see a new competitor, but I also do not have high hopes given how difficult it is to meet all of the web standards. Given the increasing number of websites that have problems or limitations with Firefox, I do not foresee Ladybird ever getting to the point where it could be reliably used by average people. I would love to eventually be proven wrong about this though.
Servo also has nothing to do with Mozilla anymore. It has been a part of the Linux Foundation since Mozilla laid off all of the developers in 2020.
Ente is also able to be self-hosted.
Proton is still a for-profit company. However, there is now the non-profit Proton Foundation that is the largest shareholder of the Proton company (not necessarily majority shareholder).
Plus, non-profits are not guaranteed to be positive. See OpenAI for example.
Edit: Grammar
The foundation is the largest shareholder, but Proton has not specified whether it controls a majority.
But T-Mobile is still offering the service, so it is not the lifetime of that either.
A GitHub issue was opened for Syncthing-Fork, so it will be worth watching that to know whether it will continue to be supported.
That is only an option on the Pro version. Most computers come with Home.

Can I store a passkey in a platform agnostic way?
Yes, if you use a platform agnostic password manager that supports passkeys such as Bitwarden.
Firefox and Brave Search
This does not apply to the server. Only the client app is open source. The server is proprietary.
They switched to USB-C last year with the iPhone 15.
Miracast and Chromecast are different. Miracast is the open standard while Chromecast is Google’s proprietary casting protocol.
Roku supports both Miracast and AirPlay, but I don’t think it supports Chromecast.
Despite not being easy to find, most news sites still have RSS feeds. They are great for just getting the news from sources I trust instead of big tech algorithm recommend blogspam. It is also possible to get RSS feeds from subreddits and Mastodon.
KeePass password vault
Google has done price increases the last 2 or 3 years, so they no longer have a price advantage. Samsung also has the same 7 year support window.
Proton is still a for-profit company and has shareholders who expect to to make money. The change is that the largest shareholder of the for-profit company is now a separate non-profit organization. It is still a positive move, but not entirely what the marketing makes it seem.
